Multiple dreaming layers

Last night I dreamt that I was back in a canoe and catching up on my tanning. I miss the summer and canoeing ALOT! It was much better than the night before's dream. That dream was crazy and started with me working at a shipping yard for the couple months before camp. I ended up climbing a cliff and at the top was my program counsellor from school for some reason (who's husband is a cliff ecologist). I was looking for someone so scrambled back down the cliff and found that the shipping yard was now on camp property and that it was winter. There were tunnels through the snow drifts that outdoor ed had made and they had fans in them to keep the air circulating through them. It was this point that I made my way to the tuck shop which was more like a trading post and ran into my dad. It was then thanksgiving and I was freaking out b/c I noticed that I had cut my thumb off some how. It looked sick. I couldn't remember right away how I had did it but realized that I hadn't actually cut it off but only dreamt that I had the day before while documenting a crime scene with Nanook on the side of the road. Once I realized that I hadn't actually cut my thumb off I felt alot better. I then went sledding at camp and then woke up.

All of that makes sense when I think about. Everything that showed up in that dream somehow relates to someone I saw or somewhere I went over the previous couple of days... It's weird how stuff like that sits in your subconcious.

Indian Summer 2006

Yesterday I made the trek from Fonthill to Port Sydney to take part in the summer debrief for Boys Camp deemed "Indian Summer". In the afternoon we had a meeting and at night we made a huge fire.




We all pitched in for a mammoth firecracker from Smiths called "PLANET SMACKDOWN"! We lit it on top of the blob tower entertaining the cottagers across the lake.






Lets be serious now, the firelighting was the highlight! I got to shoot the roman candle at it sending a fireball into the air and a blue ring of death across the beach.

A few thoughts

Learning from past experiences this past week I got a haircut instead of buying a hat. Gone are my golden blond summer locks however, I am now disheartened until I may be sunkissed once again. Looking at some pictures with snow in it has made me remember how much fun it can be. Maybe I'm not that sad about winter's accelerated approach this year.

I like this picture.


Look, snow on the beach.


I like this one too.


Elliott, just five more minutes... seriously

Man sized bladder

I'm feeling better now and thought of a funny story. Charity will appreciate this.

A couple weeks ago I headed north on a week long field trip for one of the courses I am taking. I slept for most of the 6 hour drive North and have concluded that the air must have been dry in the van and I breathed out most of my body's moisture content because I didn't pee for over 15 hours. Impressed? I certainly was.

Back at it!

Here I am, back at school.... how does that make you feel? Well, it makes me feel crappy to be honest. All this structure, due dates and stresses. I'm living in a house with 3 random girls which is interesting. I managed to score the basement which on the downside doesn't have any windows to the outside world but is about the same size as all 3 girls rooms combined. I've set my hammock up in it which I still have yet to take full advantage of. We don't have a long distance plan so I'm counting on other people calling me or taking of advantage of skype until December. The living room situation is hurting to the max, right now it contains one couch, one chair, and a kitchen table.... Thats it, a pretty sterile environment. Someone should really donate a tv to the room and some cable while they're at it.

Today I had a lab all afternoon which was crappy and then it started to rain. Should I expect less from Guelph? The town of eternal drizzle. Needless to say but today is bordering sucky/mediocre at best.

I was in Kingston on the weekend and snapped some pics.
